The Dodgers were looking for a four-game sweep in Atlanta. They did not accomplish that, as they came a strike away from being no-hit by Braves starter Sean Newcomb. A Chris Taylor two-out, two-strike single in the top of the ninth broke up Newcomb’s no-hitter on his 134th pitch.

After the Dodgers went down in order in the top of the first, Ross Stripling recorded two easy outs before getting in trouble. Freddie Freeman singled, and Nick Markakis and Kurt Suzuki each doubled to give Atlanta a 2-0 lead in the first.
